Got a card in the mail from Tennessee Valley Railroad. The Loop is open

The famous hook and eye, or more recently called the loop is now being ridden by 50's era diesels, and Vintage passenger cars. It is a 50 mile trip up the Hiwassee River. The trip begins in Etowah and after boarding school buses the passengers are delivered to the Hiwassee River and the trip begins. The first half of the trip is traveling up the river till the destination at Copper Hill. Then the same back. Four hours of riding for $35. If you want to check out their website just log into www.tvrails.com. It looks like as of right now that the only weekend I will be going down will be Saturday November 18. That's right I know that certain people were told that I would be able to go on the second weekend of the month, but I have other obligations that weekend.'

Anyway, if anyone wants to go with me that weekend and or needs directions, just email me at thewomacs@juno.com.

Rides began this weekend Oct. 14 and will continue till November 25th. Friday rides are available and from what I get from the card most rides will be either Saturday or Sunday leaving at 9:30 or at 1:30. Two special weekends will be all day trips only on December the 2nd and the 9th. Those tickets will be $70 for the all day trip.

I highly recommend this trip as I rode it a couple of summers ago but at that time it only went up to the powerhouse and back. I believe this will be worth it.

Hope to see you there,

Charlie Womac

Hey gang:

Just another post of the Hiwassee Rail Adventures.

I was not able to get through to them by phone. I did e-mail them and got the attached registration form in PDF format. Just to clarify some of the information I posted earlier. The $35 trip is only to Farner, but that does include the "Loop". The document does include which trips are already sold out. The email that they sent me said that all 3 phones have been busy all day. So go I guess is that the trips may sell out soon. Better get your tickets if you can get through.

Guys

As it turns out, I have bought one ticket too many. Due to some recent events, my wife, Pam, has decided to not go on the trip. I have not received my ticket in the mail yet, but when I do it is availabe. If anyone else wants to go on November 18 at the 1:30p.m. trip, just let me know. Either e-mail me at thewomacs@juno.com or my clevelandstate Address cwomac@clevelandstatecc.edu. My cell phone is (423) 519-2864.

If I am in a class when you call my cell phone, I will return a call to you as soon as possible.

Will really appreciate it if someone will buy this ticket, because now it will be wasted if no one else wants it.

Thanks, Charlie Womac

Let me know what kind of things will help you over the fence, gentle arm twisting, bagles, threats.

I plan on being at the Sunday meeting, but things have a way of getting in the way.

See you there
